Franklin County Prosecutor Ron O'Brien says he will request an appeal of last week's ruling by a county appeals court to throw out evidence in a burglary case because a detective placed a GPS device on a suspect's car without getting a warrant.

The Franklin county prosecutor says he will ask the Ohio Supreme Court to consider whether police can use GPS devices to track vehicles without a warrant from the court.

Franklin County Prosecutor Ron O’Brien says he will request an appeal of last week’s ruling by a county appeals court to throw out evidence in a burglary case because a detective placed a GPS device on a suspect’s car without getting a warrant.

Common Pleas Judge Michael J. Holbrook ruled in February 2013 that some evidence against 22-year-old burglary suspect Montie Sullivan was illegal because his constitutional right against illegal searches had been violated.

Last week, a three-judge panel of the appeals court upheld the ruling.

A Franklin County grand jury has indicted three people for allegedly voting more than once in past elections.

Franklin County Prosecutor Ron O’Brien said the indictments Tuesday charged the three with felony voter fraud. All allegedly tried to vote twice by absentee ballot, two of them in the 2010 general election and one in the 2008 primary election.

Illegal voting is a 4th-degree felony, punishable by up to 18 months in prison.

The three cases were referred to the prosecutor’s office by a unanimous vote of the county board of elections in Columbus. The county referred cases of suspected double voting to the prosecutor’s office in 2007 and 2009. Both resulted in convictions.
